About this listen

48 years. One dealership. A lifetime of stories from inside the automotive aftermarket.

This week on The Automotive Advantage, Justin Cesler and Dr. Jamie Meyer sit down with Nicky Fowler, the man many call the Godfather of Chevrolet Performance Parts. After nearly five decades with Scoggin Dickey Parts Center, Nicky opens up about building an $80M+ operation, the evolution of LS and LT engines, the truth about private equity, and how to actually survive in today’s changing automotive world.

From learning business lessons from his drag racing father to navigating GM, Ford, and the aftermarket, this episode is a masterclass in how to build longevity, integrity, and success in the industry we all love.


Highlights:

  • How Nicky built one of the most powerful dealerships in the country

  • The rise (and future) of LS and LT engines

  • Why integrity still matters in a cutthroat market

  • The real effects of private equity in the performance world

  • The secrets to surviving 48 years in the automotive aftermarket

If you care about performance, racing, or what makes the industry tick, you can’t miss this one.
